The Brooklyn "Freie Presse," which went over
to Cleveland in 1884, has come back into the
Republican party and promises to do effective
work against the corrupt Democratic ring in
Brooklyn. There is ample opportunity for such
work. and Editor Roehr will find the Republican

That I have turned my former self.
81 will thOse that kept mo company.
